[1] While the historical name remains its formal designation, it is today known simply as St George's Holborn.

[2] The church was built in 1703–06 by Arthur Tooley, as a chapel of ease to St Andrew, Holborn.

[3] Tooley was paid £3,500 to build the chapel and two houses by a group of fifteen trustees including Sir Streynsham Master.

[4] It was later bought by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches and became a parish church in 1723, receiving the dedication to St George, in honour of Streynsham Master's governorship of Fort St George in India.

[6] The church was remodelled in the early nineteenth century by J.B. Papworth, who added a bell-tower and two frontages to what had previously been a plain brick building,[5] and once again in 1867–69 by S. S.Teulon, who almost entirely changed the exterior, removed the galleries and added the present columns and roof.
